Councilwoman Janice Hahn has represented the 15th Los Angeles City Council District since 2001.
She has very little to show for her efforts.
Her one major accomplishment: she lead the overheated effort to bring Reggie the Alligator out of Lake Machado and into the LA Zoo, where he only escaped again, all at a huge cost to tax-payers plus a needless diversion from her real responsibilities.
Hahn should have been attending to more pressing matters affecting her constituents, like gangs, crime, failing schools, failing business, and government dysfunction.
Councilwoman Hahn has demonstrated no real leadership on the Council with her fourteen colleagues in Downtown LA, all of whom have failed to balance the city's budget, to close the looming and lingering deficits impoverishing the city and its citizens, and to take on the exorbitant public sector pensions and benefits which are draining the city coffers now and into the unforeseeable future.
In fact, she has been exposed by local news channels for using too much water when she had advocated curbing water use in the city. She has dithered frequently about revamping the abandoned properties on Western Ave in San Pedro, refusing to commit to any plan that would revitalize the area.
Even in her "support" for Israel, she has vacillated plaintively between supporting the Israelis and the Palestinians instead of committing to a positive solution. The next Congressional Representative must be decisive in advocating fiscal and foreign policies in the best interests of the CA-36th.
Craig Huey is the better candidate to represent the constituents from San Pedro to Venice. Decisive, articulate, and committed, he has a vision for the proper scope of government.
